Turnkey HPC Appliances for CAE, AI, and Data Analytics
Out-of-the-Box Computing, On Site or in the Cloud
Computing can be complex — and you need to focus on your organization’s core business, not on maintaining a complex network of high-performance computing (HPC) resources and service providers.
Altair® Unlimited™ brings together software, system administration, and infrastructure-as-a-service into a single, intuitive platform.
It’s available as a physical, on-premises appliance or a virtual appliance in your choice of cloud. It’s simple to deploy and scale so organizations of all sizes can take advantage of expanded computing capacity and get answers faster.
It includes all the software you need — from computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools and solvers to data analytics and HPC solutions — paving the way for massive virtual exploration.
Fully Configured Hardware with Unlimited Software
We’ve seamlessly packaged the complexity of HPC in the Altair Unlimited physical appliance, with fully configured, space-saving hardware and unlimited Altair software, plus support for third-party tools. Altair Unlimited is a fully managed solution supported by an expert team with extensive industry knowledge, powered by the Altair One® cloud innovation gateway for collaborative engineering, data engineering, and analytical application development. The turnkey Altair Unlimited system is designed for simple deployment. Installation takes hours, versus days or weeks for traditional HPC solutions. The physical appliance can be used as a standalone resource, alongside existing infrastructure, or to enable hybrid cloud and scale when additional resources are needed. It’s powered by Altair® HPCWorks® to give teams a modern, intuitive high-performance computing framework.
Fully Supported Turnkey HPC in the Cloud
The Altair Unlimited virtual appliance delivers Altair's solvers on demand or as a subscription on a modern, scalable HPC infrastructure via an efficient web-based portal. Run all computer-aided engineering (CAE) software — for multiphysics and more — on a secure, cloud-based platform that simplifies access to HPC infrastructure at an affordable cost. Everything is included in one easy package, and Altair’s flexible bring-your-own-license model allows organizations to use third-party solvers in any cloud environment. Powerful workload management with the industry-leading Altair® PBS Professional® scheduler improves productivity, utilization, and efficiency of cloud resources. HPC solutions are packaged together, making it easy for engineers to focus on their core development and research. All the fundamental Altair CAE and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions — from electromagnetics to fluid simulation — are accessible through the virtual appliance and Altair One gateway.
“Having little to no experience with high-performance computing, it was very beneficial to have a solution that took care of our system and needs so we could focus on our expertise in engineering.” Read the full story.

Designing Comfort, Safety, and Economy - Mirus Aircraft Seating Employs Unlimited Computing for Simulation and Modeling
Mirus Aircraft Seating is a leading global manufacturer of innovative, high-performance aircraft seating, with operations in the U.K., Malaysia, and China. Mirus was founded in 2015 and began using Altair simulation software in 2016, working with Altair experts to develop models, methods, and processes to use and reuse. In 2022 it added a Humanetics crash dummy model to fully emulate physical crash tests. Advanced modeling and simulation are critical to Mirus’s business and its mission of delivering innovative, high-performance aircraft seating solutions while enhancing the passenger experience. It requires powerful computing resources to perform preprocessing, data analysis, post-processing, validation, and more. To power advanced crash testing simulation, the Mirus team expanded its computing capabilities to the cloud by employing the Altair® Unlimited™ virtual appliance.
Fast Design for Electromobility - C-TEC Scales Up in the Cloud with Altair and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
When C-TEC – a young and innovative German company specializing in the development and production of intelligent devices, machines, and systems – needed GPU-accelerated high-performance computing to meet the latest E.U. standards for passenger-vehicle fuel efficiency and emissions, they chose to work with Altair and Oracle on a solution: the turnkey Altair Unlimited virtual appliance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The fully managed Altair cloud appliance on OCI's superior bare-metal infrastructure removes the need for complex HPC management and enables flexibility, easy scaling, and top performance. It delivers unlimited use of a wide range of Altair solver software, plus HPC resource management tools and a user-friendly web portal. With Altair Unlimited, the C-TEC team avoided the high cost of on-premises HPC architecture.
